I'm a level 11 psion, with two unfinished quests in my journal:

1.Dank and Rusty maze: I figured out the password only when I got to this level, but for whatever reason, I can't get to the computer to enter it. I've spent more than 30 rounds in the sewers fighting stray cats and low quality rock bands, and to no avail.
Why is that? Is it intentional (some quests are "blocked" if one doesn't finish them on time) or a bug?

2.Waiting for Mick. Not much I can do about that, obviously.


Aside from that, Rand can offer no new quests.
Are there more quests at the moment?
Will finishing the sewer quest provide me with another one?
Will gaining a level provide me with another one (this idea doesn't sound too appealing, since I'm more than 7000 XP from level 12, and gaining that much by fighting random monstrosities will be a very tedious affair)?


Any help will be greatly appreciated, since I've become somewhat addicted to this game since I started to play it, and I definitely have an appetite for more.

As far as I can see, it's just a fun little thing we call the RNG.
30 turns really isn't that many.

There are no quests after level 10. Well, there sort of is, but it's not really a quest.
Quest availability is based on level, not previously completed quests.

RNG? Care to enlighten me on the subject?

So what can I do after level 11, and (hopefully) the sewer quest? Just wait for Ryme to add more quests?
'Cos I need my fix, man, or I'll start detoxing, and nobody wants that...

Your only major options currently are to farm for chips/items or level up.
Or help spade stuff or whatever. There is, like I mentioned before, a 'quest' later, but essentially, it's just a variety of leveling up.

The RNG stands for Random Number Generator. A general term used to describe, well, the random number generator.
I don't know how it's coded here, but suppose the computer has a 25% chance of showing up each turn.
It is possible to go an almost infinite number of turns without encountering it, as the chance of it showing up is not 100%, though the probability of that happening is very low.
So what I meant is that there are times that it will take a long time for a certain thing to show up, and there are times that it may show up very frequently.
I had assumed you knew the term, as it's very common in these kinds of games.

I know the concept of RNG, since I studied a few programming languages.
Just didn't know the term itself.


By "spading stuff", you mean selling them at the auction house?

Also, you say currently.
So ryme is planning to add quests later, and I should just be patient.
That's reassuring.

No, that was another term I take for granted.
Spading is figuring stuff about the game. Monster difficulty, xp gains, damage you do with certain powered weapons, etc. Then you can contribute what you find to the wiki, the link to which is somewhere in the main discussion forum.

And yes, much more content and quests are planned.

Okay, I'll wait patiently.

Thanks for the explanation!

If you're still fighting the band that heeds you, you're not skeptical enough. >.<

I think everybody else was being too technical.

What, do I need those sandals?

I still have them, I think, I just bought something better and took them off.


Thanks!
